It's very important to vote. People died for this right.

I'm not one of those artists who refuses to play their hits. I find that ridiculous. Hits are a blessing.

When it comes to acting, it's about creating a character and bringing forth a director's vision. It's a weird feeling, because with acting, it's just not about me. I love being in that position, because with the music, it's always about me.

I feel like I'm only in the beginning of my career. I've only made five albums. It's not a lot.

(On being asked if he preferred to be a rock god or sex god) I am neither. My favourite role is father.

I'm sure at one point I will do some acting again, but it would have to be the right thing. I'm not going to do it just because people are offering it to me. Not for those box-office, bullshit, money, noncreative people. But I'll do it when it's right to do it.

I've always been into films. I've been offered lots of films but they've always been these very stereotypical roles. They wanted me to play some gangster or street guy, or pimp, drug addict.
